Opinion: The former White House counsel for President Nixon has made a career of comparing every GOP president to the one he went to prison for

With great fanfare Monday, House Judiciary Committee Democrats called John Dean as their kickoff witness in their drive to impeach President Trump. Mr. Dean served as President Nixon’s White House counsel from 1970-73. Welcome to the wayback machine.

For his role as what prosecutors called the “master manipulator” in the coverup of the Nixon campaign and administration’s ties to the Watergate break-in, Mr. Dean was convicted of obstructing justice, served four months in prison, and lost his law license.

Trump is much more criminal than Nixon. Really, no need to compare.

Who?

What a clown!!!

There’s always a few gadfly hanging around DC.

That is probably because the entire Republican Party is full of cheaters. They are all going to get caught if this president goes down

By Karl Rove? LMAO sure WSJ, you go with that. 🤣

Sometimes you just have to know when to say goodbye

Love a good political hack

Dean’s opinion still matters to me.

Odd bird getting back at Nixon by bashing GOP presidents

Opinion | So what?

Maybe if most GOP presidents (like Reagan, GWB/Cheney and the current corrupt, orange bozo) would stop breaking the law...

Dean made a complete fool of himself - again.

Sooooo. Your looking for Sanders job in the White House?

The only thing that made him interesting during the Watergate hearings was his beautiful, perfectly coiffed wife

Is it begs sees a pattern

Trump has made a similar career out of comparing himself-favorably, of course-to EVERY president who has gone before him.

Would his opinion have merit.?

The main thing is that liberals gobble it up. The master mind of Watergate has become a legend among liberals because he got caught and spilled the beans for a lesser sentence.

WaterGateChurch scam from the 4th-estate establishment MainStreamMedia. Someone showed up at the DemocraticParty uninvited & the Republicans had to go to prison. Then they passed roevswade guncontrol via boiler room bench legislation & labor union local judicial activism.

He didn’t go to prison

Perhaps, it’s because those on the right seem to share the same anti-democratic, keep-power-at-all-costs, anti-intellectual, anti-‘other’ values? Perhaps... TheRochaSays StephenKing peterdaou SaveDemocracy

John Dean is 80 Same as his IQ

You say so...the reality is that this president is a criminal who leads a corrupt and inept administration.

JohnDean is getting under the right's skin because conservative opinion page is attacking you.

Another 'gem' from the rubbish opinion pages of an otherwise excellent news source

Rove gets much wrong (here are 3) -1.Dean never went to jail-a scandal in itself 2. Dean was running the coverup & kept the Prez ignorant -he was protecting himself 3. There was no approval of hush $ by Prez-Prosecutors tried to push this in court & failed 1/2

Maybe that says something about GOP presidents...ImpeachTrump

Doesn’t say much for the GOP.

Trying to justify your behaviour by deflecting similiar behavior on others doesn't necessarily stop at 12.

Geez go away

Yea n he is the biggest crook

It’s got to be a more honest living than Karl Rove’s

He is an obvious dirtbag!

That's easier than listening to him, isn't it GOP.

Waiting for him to go on the TED talk circuit. 🙄

John Dean was a slime and still is.

Karl Rove is the ultimate master of spin. hurts it’s own credibility by publishing articles by spin doctors.

finally someone on the left doing the same, effectively, as foxnews guest on the right have done for years

The best gulags. The best. Believe me. Bigly.

It's a living.

Stop carrying water for Trump. He is a treasonous dirt bag and you know it.
